Comment on Enterprise being able to terraforming planets.
FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 12 hours agoThe semi-established canon in second wave Trek was that 10 could not be reached. Semi-established because there were higher numbers in TOS iirc. So Tom Paris went too far, in more than one way.

TOS used a completely different warp scale with no upper maximum, hence the higher numbers in use.
When they made TNG they redesigned the scale to be exponential, with warp 10 being the upper limit because at that point the object has infinite velocity and exists everywhere simultaneously.
